Young people want you to be real with them.
Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson
Life doesnt stop because something happens to you.
Magic Johnson
If the community is happy, then they support your business and if your business is doing well, then you can give back even more to the community.
Magic Johnson
I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.
Magic Johnson
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.
Magic Johnson
I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
Magic Johnson
I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.
Magic Johnson
Assists is what Earvin is all about. That's what my whole life has been, assisting others.
Magic Johnson
Even as a fierce competitor I try to smile.
Magic Johnson
